Description

This is a rare and old Puzzle Box from Akio Kamei from 2006. The puzzle looks amazing with walnut outer frame and rosewood inner cube.

In my opinion, this is one of the trickiest puzzle boxes from Kamei.

Description of the puzzle:

You can find a red box inside through six holes. You can find six springs, too. The red box seems to be floating in the air.
You can move the red box freely by the power of springs, but only one movement can open the box.
The mechanism is very simple but it’s very difficult to find the correct movement

Note: Generally, due to spring, the inner cube shows wear and tear very fast. However, I am effectively the first owner of this puzzle and thus, the puzzle is in good shape. There will be some spring marks in the inner cube visible only when the light hits at the correct angle.

Buyer to pay shipping fees calculated after the auction. Can combine multiple winnings.
